Join us at Salt + Light for a vibrant summer evening inspired by coastal charm and tropical flavor.
Led by professional chef Deanna McCoy, this hands-on class will guide you through preparing juicy Hawaiian-style chicken topped with a fresh fruit pico salsa and served over bright, fragrant cilantro lime rice.
You’ll learn how to balance sweet and savory flavors, grill with confidence, build a vibrant seasonal salsa, and plate a dish that feels both effortless and impressive. This is food meant to be shared, savored, and enjoyed around the table.
“Taste and see that the Lord is good.”
— Psalm 34:8
There is something joyful about gathering, about creating something beautiful with your hands, and about sharing a meal that feels like sunshine on a plate. This evening blends tropical fun with coastal class, offering not just a recipe, but skills and inspiration you’ll carry into your own kitchen all summer long!
All ingredients and tools are provided. Sweet tea will be served, but feel free to bring your own beverage of choice.
Bring your appetite, your favorite people, and your love for bold, fresh flavor. Summer starts at the table.
